Hey guys! Here's my report.

First want to say congrats to Anthony and Jeff for finishing in the top 3. Good job fellas it was a bit tougher to catch fish than I was thinking it would be. I hadnt fished California waters in over a year and a half nor had been in the kickboat since 2014 TOC so it was great to be back. I was way to anxious to start fishing. I went right out of launch and didn't go far before starting to cast out into big trees where you think for sure would get a fish or two, in which I did not. Not sure if I was fishing to fast or they just weren't there. I threw into 3 of them before deciding to row to the 1st island just across they way. I got the big fish within the few casts after pulling out of a small little snag using a Dropshot. I didn't realize it was timber of some sort until I started losing rigs and or fish for the next 30 min or so. I finally realized I was small timber and or thick shrub type bushes. This is where I caught all of my fish just kicking around the island. I had to pull my bait slowly though these bushes to not get snagged and hook into fish. I continued to do this throughout the day to catch my fish. I cycled through Dropshot, shakey head and a Zappu to catch my fish.

It was good to see some old faces and some new ones. See you all at the delta.
